CURRENTLY

Long ago in the blogging world of old, the group of us would all fill in how we were doing "currently."  My friend Jane popped up with hers last week, so I am joining in the fun for old time's sake.  😀

Weather:
We saw the middle 40's today!  Tomorrow we are expecting to accumulate snow.  This has been an odd winter for us with warmer weather and no snow.  I do not mind so much.  It is cloudy so it doesn't feel as warm as a sunny day in the 40's would. 

Feeling:
I am feeling a bit stiff today.  I have increased my stationary bike milage to 50 miles a week and I am feeling it in my legs today.  Plus carrying toddlers up the stairs to naps and rebooting the laundry a couple times, my legs are telling me to take a rest tomorrow.  I love my bike though.  It helps me wake up at 5:40 AM each weekday!

Wearing:
My standard uniform for baby duty is dark yoga pants, a long-sleeved t-shirt, a zippered sweater jacket, my comfy clogs.  I have to be able to get on the floor to play, so comfort is a must.  Plus, I get noses wiped on me and little mouths chewing on me all day long. 

Watching:
The Price is Right with my husband.  Ever since the hospital, we have watched almost every day!  It is weird, I know.  It is nostalgic, I guess.  Don't judge me.  Haha. 

Listening to:
The dishwasher going for the second time today and I am so thankful. 

Doing:
Besides watching TV and writing this post, I am relaxing after a long 4 days of baby duty.  So my answer is trying not to do anything at the moment. 


Reading:
I just finished my first book of the year today, The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell.  Now I am not saying to rush out and get this book.  It is a non-fiction title written by a sarcastic, worldly bookseller.  The reason I read it was because I have a habit of reading books about books.  I am not sure why I read them.   I am usually disappointed.  This one was interesting because it explained the plight of the independent bookseller and how Amazon has wrecked their business.  That is why I kept reading. 

Cooking:
Well, I made a really good meal today, even after having the babies!  Thanks to my Instant Pot, I made chicken breasts in gravy, mashed potatoes, and a blend of vegetables.  Tomorrow I will make yogurt. I should make soup, too. 

Planning:
Not sure if I am actively planning much at the moment.  I have a graduation party to plan for in June.  I am doing a little gathering of photos at the moment and thinking about what I need to be doing to make it not so hard all at once.  I have the venue secured and the date.  I need to get a photographer for senior pictures this spring.  And I can't forget to order the cap and gown soon.  May will be here before I know it. 

Working on:
I am working on getting more consistent with the housework. Three weeks ago I started using the Fly Lady app.  I have been a follower of her for many, many years.  Lately, I had been slacking off, just doing what had to be done to keep up with appearances.  Hahaha.  I love how her system is "start where you are."  If I don't get to it this week, it will cycle back soon enough.  The advantage of her app is that I can check off things each day.  Since I have been using her app, I can say that I am getting more done and things look better.  I also have a motto that I adopted and that is, "If I see it needs to be done, do it now!"  So hard! 

Crafting:
Ha!  I am lucky to be reading books, my only hobby at the moment. 

Thinking:
I am thinking about too many things!  There is the looming graduation, adding a new baby this fall, praying I don't get the sick baby's cold, will it snow tomorrow, where will Trevor decide to go to college in the fall... am I going to lose my mind when he goes!!! 

Loving:
Like many people, I am loving Walmart pick up!!  I cannot live without it.  I do walk through another store for fresh vegetables and meat on sale but that is quick and painless now. 

Celebrating:
Jeff's feeling better and getting stronger.  It is a gift!  Life is a gift.


Grateful:
I am so grateful that my Jeff is feeling better.  I am over the moon happy and grateful that Grace is doing so well at her school, making friends, learning a lot.  We got to have her home over the recent long weekend. I am so thankful that I have meaningful work to do.  I am thankful that Trevor has gotten over a stomach bug and no one else got it.
